«Ocells d'Amèrica» is Lorrie Moore's short story collection, published by Edicions 62 in paperback (320 pages, in Catalan).
It brings together twelve stories about displaced lives in contemporary America: a supporting actress who settles in Chicago, a daughter who travels to Ireland with her mother, a librarian who lives with an anarchist, and a mourning for a cat that hides other losses. With black humor and lucidity, it addresses family, solitude and fragility.
Original title: «Birds of America. Stories». Translation by Xavier Pàmies. Volume 371 of the El Balancí collection. First Catalan edition: 2000.
Work recommended for readers of contemporary short fiction and American literary narrative.
